He’s the bad boy who never stays. She’s the prim and proper good girl who makes him want to.

Raleigh Patrick prefers busted-up horses to most people, hard whiskey to conversation, and dangerous women who know how to have a good time… but leave before morning. He likes his life uncomplicated, his nights short, and his heart safely out of reach.

Then he lands in Cowboy Point.

He’s only there for his baby sister, but somehow he ends up with a family he can’t help liking, a town that feels dangerously like home—and Juliet Cross.

Juliet is everything Raleigh doesn’t want. Kind. Proper. Completely unimpressed by his reputation. She doesn’t flirt with him or chase him. She simply expects better of him.

Which would be easier to ignore if he didn’t want her so damn much.

Because the more time Raleigh spends with Juliet, the more he suspects there’s a lot more heat beneath all that good-girl propriety. And for once, getting a woman into his bed isn’t the problem. It’s everything he wants afterward that scares him.

Raleigh has always known exactly when to leave. But falling for Juliet means doing the one thing he’s never been good at:

Staying put.
